| We've had a 3 tank 250 bu for 6 yrs now. I think it's quite accurate if u take the proper time to calibrate a bunch of times. Seed will always settle after a few rounds so your calibration in the yard will be out as much as 10 percent. I like to see 2-3 calibrations within 1-2 percent before I just run it rest of the season. I would still check it once a day just to make sure it's not hanging or plugged or something. Write down your calibration factors all the time so u can see trends and compare over the yrs. Makes you more confident in your numbers.
Make sure your wheel speed matches gps speed exactly. Fastest and easiest way is have the cart half full and take it on the road at 10 mph or so. Adjust the tire circumstance until speeds match exactly. The 400 ft course calibrations are so so in my books
Make sure u set the agitators to high for oats and barley. Neighbors found out the hard way this yr.
We have the 8" auger and I put an air seeder hopper on it 2 yrs ago. Works awesome with semi now. If u use semis don't get a conveyor.
I use yellow for canola, black for wheat and most fert, and green for oats and barley. You don't want the transmission to run out of range for your rates, especially if u do VR. I put a couple tuning rings on each segment of my black phos roller to make it spin a little faster. I'm gonna do the same to the yellow for canola but likely 3 or 4 rings. Thinking it will make it more accurate to calibrate and perhaps smooth out the flow a bit more. You one pass guys will ha e different fert rates so will need different rollers. Also depends on machine width and # of runs. Need to do some figuring and asking around.
I win on the long winded part I think... | |
